How To Make Color Palette in Procreate

Ever feel like a kid in a candy store when you open Procreate, only to find yourself overwhelmed by the endless color choices? You’re not alone! Selecting colors can be as dizzying as choosing between a chocolate sundae and a rainbow sherbet.

So let me guide you through the delightful process of creating a color palette in Procreate, turning that overwhelming array of colors into a harmonious selection that perfectly suits your artistic needs.

Begin your journey with Procreate color palettes for inspiration.

^{_{Opening the Color Panel}}

First things first, let’s dive into the world of colors. Tap on the color icon at the top-right corner of your Procreate canvas. This opens the Color Panel, your gateway to creating a custom palette.

_{^{Creating a New Palette}}

In the Color Panel, you’ll see tabs at the bottom. Select the ‘Palettes’ tab. This is where all your color palettes live.

Tap the ‘+’ icon to create a new palette. Give it a name that resonates with your project or mood. ‘Sunset Dreams’ or ‘Ocean Breeze’, perhaps?

^{_{Choosing Your Colors}}

You can select colors using the Disc, Classic, Harmony, or Value sliders. Play around with these tools to find colors that speak to your artistic vision.

Once you’ve chosen a color, tap and hold a square in your new palette to add it. Fill your palette with colors that complement each other or suit your project’s theme. If you’re unsure how to start adding colors, learn how to add a swatch in Procreate.

_{^{Fine-Tuning Your Palette}}

If you want to adjust a color, tap and hold it in your palette. This brings it back to the Color Picker for tweaking.

You can drag colors around in your palette to organize them in a way that’s visually pleasing or logical for your workflow.

For those who want a quick start or inspiration, Procreate offers a range of premade palettes.

In the Palettes tab, scroll through to explore the premade options. These are great for getting ideas or saving time.

You can add or remove colors from these palettes to make them your own. If your selections seem a bit lackluster, understanding why your Procreate palette might look dull can help brighten your color choices.
